1992:
Motors - seat motor was the biggest Batteries - no battery - tethers were used Weight - about 30 lbs. Size - about 2ft x 2 ft x 2 ft (FIRST had to actually up the voltage through the tethers at the finals due to the fact that many teams could not operate at the low voltage which was being supplied... something like 6 volts, maybe) 1993-1996: Motors - drill motors(different types), seat motors, window motors were used Batteries - cordless drill batteries Weight - somewhat bigger (not sure on specifics) Size - increased steadily to current size (not as tall, though) 1997: Motors - drill, seat, window motors Batteries - cordless drill batteries Weight - 120 # Size - 36"x36"x48" (not sure on height, it could've been 60") ... the 36" width was a problem, the robots would not fit through regular sized doors 1998: Motors - drill, seat, window motors Battery - same sort of battery as today Weight - 120 # Size - 36"x30"x60" 1999: Motors - drill, seat, window, Van Door, Globe Battery - same Weight - 120 # Size - same 2000: Motors - drill, seat, window, Van Door, Globe, orange rotary (mainly useless, I forgot the name) Battery - same Weight - 130 # Size - same ... FIRST added the weight to let us use the pneumatics more (the tank was heavy) 2001: Motors - drill, Fisher-Price, van door, Globe, seat, window, orange rotary, little johnson and johnson Battery - same Weight - 130 # Size - same 2002: Motors - drill, Chiapua, F-P, Globe, Van Door, Seat Battery - same Weight - 130 # Size - same 2003: Motors - drill (new), CIM, F-P, Globe, Window Battery - same Weight - 130 # Size - same There may be some errors in this... it is just from memory.
